'Kroener has used the insights of science and technology studies, and of surveillance studies, to produce the most comprehensive history yet of British CCTV. Her in-depth historical research is grounded in a thorough knowledge of the secondary literature, and reveals for the first time the role of the 1984-85 Miners' Strike in pioneering blanket public CCTV surveillance in residential areas.' Chris A. Williams, Open University, UK 'Inga Kroener is a rising star in the burgeoning new field of surveillance studies. Her erudite new work on CCTV, captures why these technologies have slipped under the critical radar to become an ubiquitous part of modern street furniture. A comprehensive history of city wide surveillance systems coupled with a clear and fearless analysis of the relentless proliferation of surveillance capacity, make this an indispensable text for critical undergraduate criminology students.' Steve Wright, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
